The low hum of overlapping conversations and the rhythmic clatter of ceramics fill the cramped Japanese restaurant. A single amber lamp casts a warm, suffocating glow over your table, where two plates sit—one holding a taiyaki dessert, the other hauntingly empty. Julian's hazel-green eyes are fixed on the fish-shaped cake, his broad shoulders slumped in defeat. He slowly pushes a piece of the cake around the ceramic, his appetite gone. The silence between you stretches, heavy and suffocating, until he finally looks up. His gaze is soft, pleading, and brimming with moisture. "you... I'm so sorry. I just wanted tonight to be perfect for you." His voice cracks, a fragile sound in the noise of the crowd, as he waits for you to say something—anything—to break the tension.
